Apparently forum members voted on this way of ordering the posts some time back. I found/ still find it awkward when reading, but have to respect the majority i suppose. It would be good though if users could have the choice which way to view.

Surely reading and scrolling from top to bottom is the norm? After all, how do people read magazines and books? Also books in the Western World are read from left to right. Both of these are ar*e about face on this forum, but it's only the one forum I have to get used to I suppose.

I've just been caught out!!! Some of the older threads (May '07 and before) I have been reading have ordering first post at top, subsequent posts underneath. Just wondering why some are one way and some the other?

You think YOU'VE got problems, Mark. I've got water gushing out of two overflows.  Cannot turn water off.

Have you got a water meter?There is an isolating tap in the hole with the meter usually. Alternatively there may be a stop tap under the sink in the kitchen?

We are not metered if that's the water meter you mean. We want water switched off to upstairs toilet & that should be stop cock that's seized in garage. (We have stop cocks all over but need one to stop water to bathroom.) Thanks though, Mark. 

Guess attic has one, we switch water off in attic for power shower. Brain engaging...........

We have several valves for upstairs in the airing cupboard. Our shower waste pipe broke and leaked all through the ceiling last week. I know what sort of panic must be going on in your place at the moment!!

Message ordering is one of the improvements coming this week.  I think we could have it up and running (as a first stage) by tomorrow.

I've had people on the phone all day today and this evening is the first few hours I've actually had to do any proper work.

Anyway, I've made live the facility where you can choose the sorting order of the posts.  There is a link at the top of evey thread if you just want to sort it for that thread.

If you want to change the sorting order on a permanent basis then click the "Forum profile" link in the menu above and you now have the option to set the sorting order.

It's not perfect, there's still a bit to do with it but it's a start.  At the moment this is only on the general forum and not on the development forums.

Best get some sleep now.

Justin

P.S.  morerosado, the pm stuff will be done this week too...promise!

I must admit I prefer to read the messages as I do now, just used to it I guess. But to have the option to change it will please many, I realise.

That's better thanks Justin. Call me awkward but.......

When the notification email arrives for the next post in a thread, can it include the position of the new post?  (i.e Instead of http://www.eyeonspain.com/Secure/ForumPostsAsc.aspx?thread=1917&dev=FB11&name=General%20chit%20chat.aspx which will show page 1, it shows http://www.eyeonspain.com/Secure/ForumPostsAsc.aspx?thread=1917&dev=FB11&name=General+chit+chat.aspx ) the last page. I know this is probably why the forum was ordered the other way, but other forums usually only link to the last post and not the entire page. (I think I know what I mean ).

Mark

Hi Mark

Yes, there's quite a lot of work required for that functionality but we are working on it.  That's why today's mods are just the begining.  I think in about a week's time it will all be complete, including the changes that you are asking for.

Justin
